Robert Ronning Shares Excitement over Letter of Intent from Victory Square Technologies

The LOI comes as PayVida is preparing to become a publicly traded entity

Vancouver, British Columbia - June 13, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —

Co-founder of the blockchain-based payment processor PayVida Robert Ronning is sharing the news that Victory Square Technologies (“Victory Square”) plans on acquiring 33% of the company within the year. “We had multiple offers, a lot of people who wanted to lead the private placement. We are certainly honored to enter into an agreement with such a great company as Victory Square, and this partnership will definitely shape our future,” Robert Ronning commented.

The LOI comes as PayVida is preparing to become a publicly traded entity, with expectations of this happening in the early part of 2018. The support of Victory Square will allow the Vancouver-based enterprise to advance its mission of revolutionizing the Canadian payment processing industry. Starting with the premise that simplicity, affordability, and transparency are the key attributes of this service, PayVida has quickly progressed to the point where its technology and the expertise of its team have empowered the creation of an innovative, highly differentiated offering. With a keen sense of ethics and a focus on the morality side of payment processing, the company takes pride in being the first Canadian provider to eliminate the onus of contracts and discard cancellation fees while offering the benefits of next-day funding and a price lock guarantee. “The entire blueprint and DNA of what we built from day one rests on the notion of no contracts and no cancellation fees. We have the industry’s most transparent pricing, and we do not charge a monthly minimum,” as noted by Ronning.

Established in 2012 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Victory Square is the ideal partner for PayVida given its focus on entrepreneurs with game-changing ideas. Businesses supported by the blockchain-focused venture builder obtain access to educational programs, global mentorship networks, distribution partners, creative workspaces, resources, and operational support in various other fields. Victory Square selects ventures with a potential for greatness and helps them build scale internationally. To date, it has changed the fortunes of more than 1,000 entrepreneurs and supported over 500 startups, assisting them in raising more than $100 million in combined funding. Its network partners include leading accelerators such as Y Combinator, 500 Startups, Techstars, and Launch Academy. The portfolio built by Victory Squareis a testament to the forward-thinking approach of the leadership team led by CEO Shafin Diamond Tejani. The company is investing in all the technologies that are disrupting economic sectors: artificial intelligence, virtual/augmented/mixed reality, and blockchain. In 2017, Victory Square became a member of the Blockchain Investors Consortium (BIC) – an organization dedicated to identifying global investment opportunities in the digital assets category.

Robert Ronning co-founded Dominion Card Services in 2012 and led it for ten months, using this time to refine the vision for his next venture. The financial services technology provider he launched early in 2013, PayVida Solutions is on a mission “to rebuild the payment industry from the ground up” and radically change the way businesses get paid. PayVida aims to spearhead the creation of a healthier marketplace by offering ethical and affordable payment processing solutions to business owners and entrepreneurs.

NEW YORK — Years before UFC was worth billions, Dana White used to plead his case with ESPN for air time. This was no negotiation for a big-money rights package — the UFC president simply wanted highlights on "SportsCenter." "I was out there all the time," White said of his trips to ESPN's Connecticut headquarters. "For most of the time, the last 18 years, I was battling just to get coverage. We used to fight just to try and get covered by them." Call off the fight. UFC and ESPN have launched a partnership that would have seemed inconceivable even...

DETROIT — Last year, Will Power finally broke through and won the Indianapolis 500, so he can cross that accomplishment off the list. Now 37, Power is reaching an age when it's fair to wonder how much longer he'll keep at it. "I'm really enjoying my racing. I've never been so motivated. I'm fitter than I've ever been, mentally on the game," Power said. "I think once you get to this part of your career, you realize that you're not going to be doing this forever. So you've got to enjoy it and you've got to go for it when...

DETROIT — Despite a government shutdown, Hyundai and Kia are moving ahead with a recall of about 168,000 vehicles to fix a fuel pipe problem that can cause engine fires. The problem stems from improper repairs during previous recalls for engine failures. The affiliated Korean automakers have been dogged by fire and engine failure complaints from across the nation. They're both under investigation by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has been trying to figure out whether initial recalls covered enough vehicles. But the agency is mostly closed due to the shutdown. In addition to the recall, each...

DETROIT — At first glance, this year's edition of the North American International Auto Show might look like any other from the past: gleaming vehicles, bright lights and flashy displays trying to lure spectators to their offerings. But after traversing Cobo Center's massive exhibition space and ticking off the automakers, you'll notice what's not there: namely BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi or Mazda. Those brands had been mainstays of the Motor City's celebration of the auto industry, which opens to the public on Saturday. But they are pulling out not just from Detroit but shows worldwide because of a bad date...

FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen and Ford are forming a global alliance to develop commercial vans and medium-sized pickups together while exploring broader cooperation on future battery-powered and autonomous vehicles and services. Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess and Ford CEO Jim Hackett said Tuesday that the first jointly developed vehicles could hit the market as early as 2022 and that the linkup would offer efficiencies that would mean stronger profits starting 2023. Ford Motor Co., based in Dearborn, Michigan, would make the medium-sized pickups, one of its strengths, as well as larger vans. Volkswagen would develop and build a small van for...
